Happy Father’s Day from CraftBeer.com

We certainly hope you’ll be toasting the dads in your life with an American craft beer this Father’s Day, but these patriarchal-themed beers will make for an extra special salute! Here are seven beers brewed with dads in mind and a short description from each brewery.

Cheers to all the beer-loving dads this Father’s Day and a huge shout out to the craft brewers who find a way to balance fatherhood and brewing!

Dad’s Little Helper Black IPA is deep mahogany in color with roasted malt and hop aromas and a dense creamy head. It enters the palate with intense hop flavor and coats the tongue with a rich maltiness.

This IPA was the winner of a bronze and silver medal in 2008 and 2000, respectively, at the Great American Beer Festival in the English-Style India Pale Ale category.
